Since it came out in season 19, I’ve been feeling rather mixed about it but now my stance is clear. We don’t need a map pool. The only maps people really hated were Paris and Horizon. Those are the two most hated maps in the game by a lot of the community as shown previously by various posts
There are 30+ maps in the game, counting all 3 variants of control maps, and just restricting it to 18 just doesn’t feel right.
This can make the competitive experience feel very stale when you realize you’ll probably be playing on the same map twice within the hour. Especially for those who watch streamers. Having them go back to the same map every 2 games or so gets tedious.
While I do think Paris and Horizon could use some tweaks, I’m fine with them, and only them, being the maps out of comp.
To end this, I’ll just use a quote:
